Editorial Reviews

That’s right. They turned Dracula into a counting book! I have found many hidden details that could only be noticed after multiple read-throughs. Readers may wonder how BabyLit achieved this?

I looked at the source material out of curiosity. This is when I discovered that minor details such as the wolfs, rats, and ships on various pages reference events in the original story. My love for this book grew even stronger. My son has shown his love for this book by chewing on the edges of the cover. Most nights he will seek to find this specific book, sometimes he has even tried to read the book aloud. I highly recommend this book for children 12 months and older.

This counting primer has the cutest illustrations and a spooky style parents will appreciate, but kids won't be afraid of.
